Over 4,000 Saudi mercenaries, including 178
commanders, have been killed during the year-long Riyadh-led war against
Yemen, a Yemeni intelligence source said on Thursday.

"At least, 4,000 Saudi mercenaries have been killed during the savage
aggression of the Saudi-led Arab coalition against Yemen in the past one
year," the source told FNA.

He said that tens of the Saudi mercenaries killed by the Yemeni army
and popular forces have been Sudanese, Djiboutian, and even Chechnian
nationals, adding that 178 commanders are seen among the Saudi death
toll in Yemen war, "a fact that has always been kept secret the Saudi
media".

His remarks came after the Yemeni army and popular forces destroyed the
Saudi military positions and bases in Ma'rib province with a ballistic
missile, killing tens of the kingdom's forces.

Early reports indicate large casualties on the Saudi forces in the
missile attack. The Saudi army and its coalition members have lost, at
least, over a hundred troops each time they have come under a ballistic
missile attack by Yemen.

The Yemeni forces have fired tens of missiles on the military positions
and gathering centers of Saudi-led coalition so far, killing hundreds
of Saudi forces and injuring many more.

In a relevant development last week, the Qaher-I missile hit al-Khanjar
military base in al-Jawf province, destroying their military hardware
and equipment.

The Saudi-led forces' armored vehicles were destroyed during the Yemeni missile attack.

Scores of Saudi forces were killed and injured in the Yemeni missile strikes.

In late February, a Yemeni Tochka missile hit the Saudi-led coalition's
military base in Ma'rib province, killing tens of coalition servicemen,
including 8 senior Saudi and UAE officers.

A Commander of Yemen's Ansarullah Movement confirmed firing of the
ballistic missile at the Ma'as military base in Ma'rib in Central Yemen.

He noted that at least 48 Saudi forces were killed in Yemen's Tochka missile attack.

Also on February 3, the Yemeni forces rained down a barrage of missiles
at the Saudi forces' military tower in Al-Dokhan region in Jizan
province in Southern Saudi Arabia.

Al-Dokhan tower was reportedly destroyed in the Yemeni missile attacks
in Jizan as eyewitnesses said that they had seen smoke rising from it.

The Yemeni army and popular forces regained control of Al-Khurma region
in Asir province after they destroyed two arms depots and other
military hardware of the Yemeni forces in the region.

Meantime, the Yemeni army's artillery units pounded Malhama military
base in Jizan province. The Saudi troops started fleeing their base as
soon as they came under the missile attack, FNA reported.
